1 Fieldbus Introduction
The Modbus Plus is a local area network system designed for industrial control and monitoring applications, devel-
oped by Modicon, Inc. HMS is a member of the ModConnect program for developing Modbus Plus devices.
Technical questions regarding the fieldbus should be addressed to Modicon Inc. at www.modicon.com .
The network enables programmable controllers, host computers and other devices to communicate throughout plants
and substations. Modbus Plus is normally used in industrial automation, to transfer fast data for motor controllers,
MMI, I/O units and other industrial equipment.
The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module communicates according to the Modbus Plus Protocol. This means that it can
communicate with all Modbus Plus nodes that comply with this protocol, but it does not necessarily mean that all ser-
vices available in the Modbus Plus protocol is supported.

1.1 Introduction to Modbus Plus

The media for the fieldbus is a shielded twisted pair cable. The data transfer rate is 1Million bit/s and a data through-
put of 20,000 16 bit word per second.

2 Module Overview
This section provides an overview over the module and describes the technical features.

2.1 Mechanical Overview

The ANYBUS-S module for Modbus Plus is a host device. This host device can be read and written to from another
Modbus Plus host device or controller. The ANYBUS-S module for Modbus Plus will not initiate any Point-to point
communication to other nodes, it will only respond to incoming commands. It can all though broadcast global data to
all nodes on the network.
Via the Host connector, the ANYBUS-S is connected to the application; this gives the application an instant connec-
tion to the Modbus Plus network.

2.2 Protocol & Supported Functions

The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus is to be used in Modbus Plus networks, in application where there is a need for exchang-
ing large amounts of data and where the parallel application is to prefer.
The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus has two ways of exchanging data. One through fast cyclic I/O data called Global Data,
and one trough a somewhat slower Modbus protocol for point-to-point parameter data transfer.
The maximum Global Data is 32 16-bit words on the bus, and with ability to set an offset within the Source node glo-
bal Data. The point-to-point data transfer is handled by using one of the following Modbus functions Read holding
Registers, Preset Single Register and Preset multiple Registers all 40000 registers.

2.7 Dual-Port RAM Memory - DPRAM (Alternative 1)

The easiest way to use the AnyBus-S module is to integrate it into the system microprocessor bus. This is achieved
using the parallel DPRAM interface. All relevant access and handshaking procedures are achieved through this inter-
face. The handshake procedure is used to ensure that there will always be consistent data available on the host appli-
cation side as well as on the fieldbus side. In the handshaking procedure, it will always be the host side that initiates
the start of the handshaking and the AnyBus-S module will respond to it.
For more information about designing with the Parallel interface, please see the AnyBus-S Design Guide for Parallel
interface.

2.8 Asynchronous serial interface (Alternative 2)

The serial interface is not yet available, for further information please contact HMS.

4 Functions & Operation

4.1 DPRAM Structure of the Modbus Plus Module
The application interface is thoroughly described in the AnyBus-S Design Guide. Many items are the same for all
AnyBus-S modules. In the sections below, only the fieldbus specific items are described, i.e., items which are indi-
vidual for the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module.

4.1.1 IN/OUT Data Area

Table 8: IN/OUT data area

Area (HEX) Contents Access

IN area
000h - 1FFh Input data area ; 512 bytes R/W

OUT area
200h - 3FFh Output data area; 512 Bytes RO

The fast data area of the DPRAM is represented as global data on the Modbus Plus network. The fast data mapped to
the beginning of the area. The slow data area of the DPRAM starts directly after then fast data. This data is accessed
over the Modbus Plus network by using the Modbus commands for point-to-point data transfer.

The application exchanges data with the fieldbus via the DPRAM IN and OUT data areas. Before the module can be
used, the length of the IN and OUT area has to be defined. This is accomplished during initialisation of the module.
AnyBus-S Modbus Plus has the possibility to use both fast data and slow data. The fast global data will be assigned to
I/O data. The parameter data will be the IN/OUT total length minus the cyclic I/O data, for both IN and OUT.
When using only the DPRAM memory (512 Byte):

The IN area of the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus can be configured during initialisation with a size from 0 byte to 512
bytes.
IN cyclic I/O length (7F0h-7F1h)
IN DPRAM length (7F2h-7F3h)
IN total length (7F4h-7F5h)
The OUT area of the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus can be configured during initialisation with a size from 0 byte to 512
bytes.
OUT cyclic I/O length (7F6h-7F7h)
OUT DPRAM length (7F8h-7F9h)
OUT total length (7FAh-7FBh)

If more than 512 byte IN and OUT is required, the extended IN and OUT area can be used in the AnyBus-S Modbus
Plus module.
If the Extended memory is used, there can be up to 2kB IN and OUT. To set 2kB IN/OUT length, the OUT total
length is set to 0x800 (2048 bytes). The extended memory is accessed using mailboxes on the parallel interface, and
is mapped directly to the data area of the serial module. Please see AnyBus-S Design Guide for Parallel interface for
details regarding the Initialisation.

4.1.4 Control Area

These registers contain information about the status and control environment, both for the fieldbus and the module
itself, e.g. Fieldbus type, Module Software version, Module Type, configuration, etc. The following registers are spe-
cific for the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module. For further information about the Control Area contents, please see the
AnyBus-S Design Guide.

4.2 Initialization
Initialisation of the AnyBus-S module in standard format is performed with the ANYBUS_INIT mailbox telegram,
where the sizes of the input/output areas are set.
The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module uses both I/O data and parameter data. All parameter data will be mapped after
the I/O data, ( "IN/OUT total lengths" minus "IN/OUT I/O data" ) . In the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus, I/O data is the
same as global data and parameter data the same as Modbus point-to-point data commands.
The lengths specified are also checked against their maximum size. If they do not comply, the initialisation will be
rejected.

Note: The time between the initialization command END_INIT and the flag FBRS is set (and displayed to the appli-
cation) in the register, Module Status Register (7E2h-7E3h) is 10 seconds, due to the Modbus Plus peer interface need
this amount of time to be initialized.
If action towards the Modbus Plus is requested as soon the AnyBus Modbus Plus is up and running, we recommend
to monitor the FBRS flag to be able to decide when the network is available for the application.

4.2.1 Initialization Example

The example below shows how to initialise the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module with the following configuration.

• Input I/O data of 16 bytes

• Output I/O data of 16 bytes
• Input Parameter data of 20 bytes
• Output Parameter data of 20 bytes
• If the bus goes off-line the outputs will freeze on the last value
• An interrupt will be generated if the bus goes on-line and off-line
• The new data field is not activated

This is the ANYBUS_INIT telegram

Note: All access on the Modbus Plus is handled in word format (16- bit word), So initialising any module data area to an odd size is not
recommended due to data consistence.

4.3 Data Exchange

The AnyBus S Modbus Plus device can be read/written from another network node. The I/O data will be updated
each token rotation cycle. The Point-to-point data will be carried out over a longer time interval and is dependent on
function and requested data size. The amount of data copied is determined in the configuration phase of the fieldbus
initialisation. The data will be exchanged via the IN and OUT data areas of the DPRAM.

4.4 Protocol Features

The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module can be equipped with extended fieldbus functions which will be configured with
fieldbus specific mailbox commands during initialise phase and in runtime. The extended functions are: "Set GDB
source", "Set Node Address", "Get Network Statistics" and "Clear Communication Counters".
Note. All access on the Modbus Plus is handled in word format (16- bit word), So initialising any module data area to
an odd size is not recommended due to data consistence.
Please see chapter 5 for further information.

4.4.1 Global Data Base transaction

Each node in the Modbus Plus network is building it's own Global Data Base by using the global data that passes
from each node with the token pass. Each node that support global data transaction, can extract the desired source
node data from the global database.
The Global Data, 1 to 32 words IN/OUT is located at the start of both the IN area and the OUT area, if the I/O size is
used.
The IN and the OUT I/O data (Global Data) can be read by the point-to-point commands, while the OUT I/O data
(Global Data) only can be update by the Source Node, through the Global Data.

Global Data Base function is supported in Modicon 984 PLC.

Can be accessed by using a MSTR block with the (OP Code = 5) WRITE GLOBAL DATABASE and (OP Code =6)
READ GLOBAL DATABASE.

This function is supported in Modicon SA85 card.

The NetLIB functions ncb_send_datagram( ) and ncb_receive_datagram( ) can be used.

4.4.2 Point-to-point data Modbus commands supported

All the Modbus functions supported by the Anybus-S Modbus Plus is for operation on 4X registers:

• Read Holding Registers (0x03)

• Preset Single Register (0x06)
• Preset Multiple Registers (0x10)

4.5 Data map from the Network

Example: if the module is initialised from the application with the following sizes.
IN I/O SIZE : 64 bytes ( 32words)
IN DPRAM SIZE : 200 bytes (100 words)
IN TOTAL SIZE : 200 bytes (100 words)

OUT I/O SIZE : 64 bytes ( 32words)

OUT DPRAM SIZE : 200 bytes (100 words)
OUT TOTAL SIZE : 200 bytes (100 words)
The data map from the fieldbus will look like this:

4.5.1 Data to network

The I/O is used, so the first area is Global Data, Max 32 words. Direct after the Global Data the parameter data fol-
lows.
The data to the link always starts at 40001 and the whole contents in the "Data to Network" area can be read with
point-to point commands (Read holding Register) and the first part of the "Data to Network" area can be read with the
Global data if this is used.

Note: If the OUT size is set from the application to an odd size there will be one byte that is not accessible from the
fieldbus, to get the contents of the first parameter data you will need to address the next whole new word in the
example below register 41058.
Example: If the module is initialised from the application with the following sizes...

IN I/O SIZE : 64 bytes ( 32 words)

4.6 Point-to-point exception handling

The AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module does not support all of the commands that are implemented in the peer proces-
sor. There are four different Exception Response:

Table 17: Modbus Exception Response

Code Function
01h Illegal function for the addressed slave
02h Illegal data address within the information field for the addressed slave
03h Illegal data value in the information field for the addressed slave
06h Host side busy, reissue the command later

Exception Response Code 0x06 is not implemented in the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module.

• If an unknown command is received form the network, this will cause the AnyBus S module to response with
an Exception Response 0x01.
• If a valid command with an address out of range for the AnyBus-S memory area this will cause the AnyBus S
module to response with an Exception Response 0x02.
• If the data for the commands Preset Multiple Register and Read Holding Register is invalid this will cause the
AnyBus module to response with an Exception Response 0x03.

The Exception Response is two bytes, the "Function Code" and the "Exception Code".

4.7 Routing Path

When Point-to-point Modbus commands are used it is important to specify the correct Routing Path to the requested
node.
Only Slave Data Paths is supported in AnyBus-S Modbus Plus module. This means that the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus
module only can respond to incoming requests. These 8 Slave Data Paths is implemented as a scanning list, were path
1 is handled first and the others then in an incremented way.

To write to node 5 within the same network (no bridging to another network), the five digits Routing Path should be:
5. 2. 0. 0. 0.
5 = Node ID.
2 = Slave Data Path. 1 to 8.

Note: If the Slave Data path is not equal to 1- 8 the module will interpret this as Slave Data Path 8, this mean that you
can have one extra path, routing an extra Modbus Plus network.

4.8 Modbus Functions

These functions is all 4X register functions.

4.8.1 Read Holding Registers

This function is supported in Modicon 984 PLC.
Can be accessed by using a MSTR block with the (OP Code = 2) READ DATA.
If using a SA85 card from Modicon, NetLIB functions can be used.

4.8.2 Preset Multiple Registers

This function is supported in Modicon 984 PLC.
Can be accessed by using a MSTR block with the (OP Code = 1) WRITE DATA.

This function is supported in Modicon SA85 card.

The NetLIB functions can be used.

4.8.3 Preset Single Register

This functionality is supported in Modicon 984 PLC.
Can be accessed by using a MSTR block with the (OP Code = 1) WRITE DATA.

This function is supported in Modicon SA85 card.

The NetLIB functions can be used.

5 Fieldbus Specific Mailbox Commands

PLEASE NOTE: This chapter describes the application functions supported only by the AnyBus-S Modbus Plus.

5.1 Fieldbus Specific Initialization

If the fieldbus specific parts are to be changed, the initialisation mailbox command ANYBUS_INIT (See chapter 4.1)
is followed by the fieldbus specific initialisation commands.
The sequence is: START_INIT, ANYBUS_INIT, FIELDBUS_INIT(s), END_INIT.
PLEASE NOTE: These fieldbus specific changes are volatile until a SAVE_CONFIG is done and the
LOAD_CONFIG is called in the start-up. Pleas see AnyBus-S Design Guide for details.
